In this groundbreaking book, Robert L. Leahy—author of the hugely popular self-help guide, The Worry Cure—invites you to gain a greater understanding of your jealous feelings, keep jealousy from hijacking your life, and create healthier relationships. We’ve all heard tales of the overly jealous spouse or significant other. Maybe we’ve even been that jealous person, though we may not want to admit it. It’s hard to imagine anyone sailing through life without either having feelings of jealousy or being the target of someone’s jealousy. But what if jealousy isn’t just a neurotic weakness? What if it signals that your relationship matters to you? In short—what if jealousy serves a purpose? In The Jealousy Cure, renowned psychologist Robert L. Leahy takes a more nuanced approach to tackling feelings of jealousy. In this compelling book, you’ll uncover the evolutionary origins of jealousy, and how and why it’s served to help us as a species. You’ll also learn practices based in emotional schema theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to help you overcome the shame jealousy can bring, improve communication with your partner, and ultimately make room for jealousy while also making your relationship more meaningful. You will learn that confronting jealousy in your relationship does not have to be a catastrophe, but can redirect you and your partner to build more trust, acceptance, and connection. We often feel jealous because we fear losing the things or people that matter to us the most. With this insightful guide, you’ll discover how jealousy can both help and hurt your relationship, and learn proven-effective skills to keep jealousy in its place.

| cognitive behavioral therapy for jealousy: Counseling and Psychotherapy With Religious Persons Stevan L. Nielsen, W. Brad Johnson, Albert Ellis, 2001-05-01 Practitioners are increasingly aware that religious persons present unique problems and challenges in therapy. Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is among the most widely practiced, highly structured and active directive approaches to treating emotional and behavioral problems. Introduced by Albert Ellis in the early 1950s, REBT is the original cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and its efficacy has been supported by hundreds of treatment outcome studies. A uniquely belief-focused therapy, REBT is usually quite appealing to clients from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and other religious traditions, who respond favorably to REBT's focus on right belief, active engagement in the work of therapy, and reading/practice focused homework. In this practical and user-friendly guide, the authors outline the congruence between the therapeutic approach of REBT and the presenting problems and concerns of religious persons. They describe an approach to reconciling the sacred traditions and beliefs of religious clients with the no nonsense techniques of REBT. They review the essential components of practice with religious clients--including assessment, diagnosis and problem formulation, disputation of irrational beliefs, and other REBT techniques, highlight the primary obstacles facing the therapist when treating religious clients, and offer many case examples from work with this important client population. Mental health professionals from all backgrounds will benefit from the detailed yet manual-focused approach to helping religious clients overcome all forms of emotional distress. |

Recognizing this, I have dedicated this work to exploring how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can serve as an effective therapeutic approach to address these emotional challenges. The structure of this book is designed to guide readers through various dimensions of Hyper-IgM Syndrome, beginning with a foundational understanding of the condition itself. From trauma and genetic concepts to the principles of CBT, each chapter builds upon the last, creating a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing both the biological and psychological aspects of the syndrome. Throughout this book, you will find practical tools and strategies rooted in CBT that can empower individuals to manage their symptoms, navigate the complexities of their health journey, and foster resilience. Whether you are a patient, a caregiver, a healthcare professional, or someone simply seeking to understand Hyper-IgM Syndrome better, this book is intended to provide valuable insights and actionable strategies. I would like to express my gratitude to the individuals and families who have shared their stories, insights, and experiences with me. Your courage in facing the challenges of Hyper-IgM Syndrome has inspired this work and underscored the importance of a holistic approach to health that encompasses both mind and body. As you embark on this journey through the pages of this book, I encourage you to engage with the material actively. Whether through self-reflection, journaling, or applying the techniques discussed, I hope you find empowerment and support as you navigate the complexities of Hyper-IgM Syndrome and embrace the possibilities of psychological healing.

| cognitive behavioral therapy for jealousy: PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT BY COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR WISKOTT-ALDRICH SYNDROME Edenilson Brandl, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a triad of symptoms: immunodeficiency, eczema, and thrombocytopenia. While the biological aspects of this condition are well-documented, the psychological impact it has on individuals and their families is often overlooked. This book aims to bridge that gap by providing a comprehensive guide to psychological support through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for those affected by WAS. As we embark on this journey, it is essential to acknowledge the unique challenges faced by individuals with WAS. Living with a genetic condition can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future. These emotional struggles can further exacerbate physical symptoms, creating a cycle that can be difficult to break. Through the application of CBT, we can empower individuals to confront these challenges, develop coping strategies, and improve their overall quality of life. In this book, we will explore various topics, starting with an in-depth understanding of Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome and its biological underpinnings. We will then delve into the psychological aspects of living with a genetic condition, including trauma, mental health, and coping mechanisms. Each chapter is designed to provide practical insights and therapeutic tools that can be adapted to the unique needs of individuals and families navigating the complexities of WAS. Moreover, this book emphasizes the importance of a personalized therapeutic approach. We recognize that each individual's experience with WAS is distinct, shaped by their background, environment, and personal beliefs. As such, we will discuss strategies for tailoring CBT to meet these diverse needs, fostering resilience, and promoting emotional well-being. We are grateful to the many individuals, families, and healthcare professionals who shared their experiences and insights during the development of this book.
